We have hundreds of antique potbelly, cylinder and parlor style stoves in our stores around the country. No one knows for sure, but we’re pretty certain this makes us the World’s Largest Collector of antique stoves. Potbelly stoves were used extensively in stores and other public places during the late 1800s and early 1900s. In their day, these stoves were often known as the place for folks to gather around and chat.
